Default New Tires?

i have gone and balded my back tires O:-) oops lol... but im gonna replace just the backs due to a lack of money, and replace the fronts when i have more money and they have gone bald too. I'm considering nitto NT555 Extreme or BFG G-Force T/A KD or T/A KDW.

If you can give me a suggestion on any of these three or another good tire that i havent listed please let me know

thanks

I was looking at replacing my Pirelli's with Falken's. I have had them on other cars are where a good tire. Prices are fairly reasonable also. Discount tire carries them.

The ones I was looking at where ZE-512, they have a treawear rating of +300. Falken has a 50,000 mile warranty on them. I ran them on previous cars, lasted about +40K and where great dry/wet.

BFG's are LOUD. Great grip, but the 275/40/18 KDW I have on mine sound like a truck.... I am checking into Nitto....

Cheers,
SA

I did the same thing a few months ago. My back tires went bald so fast

I originally had BFGs but they wore fast and I wanted to budget my spending.

I wanted the Nitto 555s so bad honestly! But too pricey for me at the time.

Went with Falken's instead for the back tires. Front tires still have 20,000-30,000 miles on them. I got my tires at Les Schwab for a total of $250 (included tire cost, installation, balance and tax).

When I have to replace the fronts, I'm going with Nitto for back and front (wider on the back too).
